¹⁰ But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

²⁴ For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

¹⁷ And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

² He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

¹⁷ Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

³ Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

³¹ And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

¹⁴ Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

³⁰ Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
